This snow thrower attachment is capable of displacing snow and clearing a path a width of 42 inches.
Observe the following operating instructions for both effective and efficient snow removal.

• Become familiar with and comfortable using all of
your tractor’s controls as instructe d in your tr actor’s
Operator’s Manual before operating it with the snow
thrower attachment.

• Make certain the correct weight and volume of
motor oil in is you r tractor ’s engine as instructed in
the engine Owner’s Guide packed with the tractor’s
Operator’s Manual.

• Always operate the snow thrower with the tractor’s
engine at maximum RPM (full throttle).

• NEVER override any safety features on either your
tractor or the snow thrower attachment.

• Make certain that all nuts, bolts, and hardware are
fastened securely and tight on both the tractor and
the snow thrower attachment prior to use.

• Make certain the snow thrower is assembled
properly and mounted to the tractor as instructed
earlier in this manual.

• Test all th e contr ols ( tract or li ft lev er, sn ow th rower
lift handle, chute tilt lever & chute crank) for smooth
operation prior to operating the snow thrower in the
snow.

• Make all adjustments (i.e. skid shoes, lift latch)
before operating your snow thrower attachment.
Follow instructions in SECTION 7: ADJUSTMENTS when
doing so.

• Engage power to the augers and impeller BEFORE
driving the tractor forward and into the snow.

• Keep your tractor’s ground speed slow. The slower
your tractor is traveling, the more effectively the
snow thrower attachment can displace snow.

• Adjust ground speed for snow conditions and
become familiar with different snow applications.
Your snow thrower attachment will operate
differently in wet heavy snow than it will it light, fluffy
snow.

11

• Overlap a previously cleared path when necessary
(deep snow) so as not to overload the auger
housing with snow.

• NEVER drive the tractor into a snow bank. The
snow thrower attachment is NOT a dozer plow. The
lift linkage and/or the snow thrower drive system
can be damaged as a result of “plowing” with the
snow thrower attachment.

• Whenever possible, discharge snow downwind.

• When the tractor (with the snow thrower

attachment mounted) is not in use, use the lift lever
to lower the auger housing assembly to the ground
to relieve strain on the tractor’s front end between
uses.

• Do NOT attempt to remove ice or hard-packed
frozen snow.

• If the augers become jammed with a chunk of ice or
a foreign object, move the tractor’s lift lever into the
disengaged (BLADES STOP) position immediately
and turn off the tractor’s engine and remove the
ignition key. Examine the auger area thoroughly for
damage and do NOT operate the snow thrower
attachment until any damage is repaired.

IMPORT ANT :

with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a hard
foreign object or an ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the bolts may shear. Two replacement
shear bolts and hex lock nuts are provided for your
convenience. Store in a safe place until needed.
NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with standard
hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other
components as a result of doing so will NOT be covered
by your snow thrower attachment’s warranty.

The augers are secured to the spiral shaft

• Always use tire chains and rear wheel weights on
your tractor where extra traction is needed. Refer to
the table to the right to determine which kits will fit
your tractor (tire dimensions are stamped into the
sidewalls of your tractor’s tires).

• Use drift cutters to aid in displacing snow through
deep, drifted areas.

NOTE: None of the kits in the table are included as
standard equipment with snow thrower attachment

SECTION 7: ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Never attempt to make any
adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in the Operator’s
Manual. Place tractor on a firm and level
surface. Place the PTO in the disengaged
(OFF) position, set the parking brake, shut
engine off, and remove key to prevent
unintended starting

Lift Adjustment

If the lift index rod doesn’t latch securely or the pivot
release has too much slack in it, an adjustment can be
made as follows:

1. Loosen the upper hex nut a few turns, then tighten
the lower hex nut to shorten the cable length. Refer
to Figure 18.

2. Loosen the lower hex nut a few turns, then tighten
the upper hex n ut to leng then the cable . Ref er to
Figure 18.

Skid Shoe Adjustment

The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted by repositioning the skid shoes found on
either side of the snow throwers auger housing. For
close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low
position. Use middle or high position when area to be
cleared is uneven. See Figure 19.

IMPORT ANT :

thrower be operated on a gravel surface, as loose
stones can be easily picked up and thrown by the
machine. If you must operate on a gravel surface,
ALWAYS adjust the skid shoes into the HIGH position
to allow the shave plate maximum clearance.

12

It is NOT recommended that this snow

Adjust skid shoes as follows:

1. Loosen, but do NOT remove, the three hex nuts
which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.

2. Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.

NOTE: Make certai n t he en t ir e ba s e of bo th skid s hoe s
are against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes. When one side does wear out, the skid
shoes are reversible.

3. Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.

4. Repeat this adjustment on the skid shoe found on
the opposite side of the snow thrower.

Engagement/Disengagement Adjustment

If the snow thrower’s auger and impeller:

a. Fail to engage when lowering the tractor’s lift

lever and placing it into the lowest notch
possible, or

b. Fail to disengage when raising the tractor’s

lift lever and placing it into the Blades Stop
notch, perform the following adjustment.

1. Place the tractor’s lift lever in the second
engagement notch (third notch down).

2. Locate the control rod found to the inside of the
engagement plate on the undercarriage assembly.
See Figure 20 .

3. Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer from the
ferrule found at the rear of the control rod. See
Figure 20 .

4. Remove the ferrule from the hole in the
engagement plate and slide the control rod as far
forward as it will go in the slot in the idler bracket.
See Figure 21 .

IMPORT ANT :

beyond the end of the slot in the idler bracket. The idler
bracket is under tension from the spring which secures
it to the tractor’s frame rail.

5. While holding the control rod forwardmost end of
the slot, thread the ferrule inward or outward
(whichever is applicable) until it is realigned with
the hole.

6. Reinsert the ferrule into the hole and secure it to the
engagement plate by fastening with the flat washer
and hairpin clip removed in Step 3.

Do not attempt to force the control rod
